If it can not extract I'm afraid that your downloaded file was not complete. it's the corrupted file.

again, please find my md5sum, previous page or a couple page back.

If your download file got md5sum hash match with mine. The files should be ok, extractable, flashable.

So you just use 1 file for PDA, the rest of phone (modem) and CSC is not used.. Is it correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcore:
Okay I got it to work using Odin!

It was mainly the PIT file causing problems.

This firmware needs PIT 513

(not 512, not 803).

I think it's because the /system needs a lot more space because of the carrier customizations.

The procedure is below, BUT this won't give you any CSCs.

I have a better procedure that will basically give you what I think is the 'original' DXJPA with all CSCs. But I'll need to upload some files first.

Procedure How to flash using:

- Use Richthofen's files (below)

- Flash using Odin

- Put in PDA: CODE_I900DXJPA

- Put in MODEM: MODEM_I9000DXJPA

- Put in CSC: CSC_I9000OLBJPA

- Click PIT and choose the 513 pit file (attached)

- Tick re-partition

Click START and wait.

After the firmware flash, you will see an error about stl10: but you can ignore that error.

Click on the option to do a wipe data/reset, the phone will format DATA, DBDATA, CACHE.

Click reboot you will boot into DXJPA.

BUT: You'll have no CSCs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lobaba:
Based on dahoba and iznogooood's posts, thanks!

downgrade to 2.1 with XXJM8; pit 512 re-partirion checked

(after reboot and back to Home, screen lock) go to download mode again

upgrade to DXJG4; use pit 513, re-partirion checked

(after reboot and back to Home, screen lock) go to download mode again

now you can upgrade to DXJPA; no pit file required, re-partition unchecked

Flash CF-Root-XW_XEE_JPA-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1.zip from Chainfire, to get back recovery 2e.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcore:
It works if you previously used PIT 513. It doesn't work for people who've re-partitioned using PIT 512 or 803.

If you can't wait, you can flash this by:

Step 1. Flash DXJG4, repartition with PIT 513 (you MUST use PIT 513! Not 512, Not 803).

Step 2. Flash DXJPA, no re-partition (no PIT).

If you can wait, I am uploading a new package which you can flash only once to get a "fresh" DXJPA install with the proper CSCs. Will post instructions and link when it's done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] specialex:
i already did that http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9317303&postcount=74

to get proper CSC, just flash again with Odin, only CSC file from richtofen

Okay, its done. This is the procedure and firmware package for a single-step flash to DXJPA using Odin:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenkinz:
hardcore, can you check if DXJPA uses the same framework res as JPM/JPO/JPP? I am not sure if there's a better way to do this check though. I tried a JPM/JPO-based framework on JPD and it didn't work. I think it's probably the same for DXJPA but like to confirm. Need to apply the theme because the stock UI sucks :D

Please let me know if the Firmware linked by you is differ from Firmware linked by Dahoba, as today I have download at least 4 types of I900DXJPA (from Samfirmware, richthofen, Dahoba, and yourself).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcore:
If you're talking about the framework-res for the battery icon mod, for sure we need a new one for DXJPA. I've put the request in the MOD repository thread already.

Yes its different - this should be the first complete package with working CSCs.

[Q] HELP...I seriously bricked my SGS

So I was trying to flash my Galaxy S because for some reason KIES wouldn't let me update...so after browsing through a ton of tutorials and forum posts I felt confident about the whole flashing process... for some reason though my flash can failing...Like after the blue bar fills up on the phone and it reboots..instead of doing what appeared to be what it would normally do..it went into the menu where it gives the option to either reboot the phone, clear the cache, or wipe the disk or something like that..then somewhere below it said "error content failed" or something to that effect..so I would reboot and Odin would say "PASS" but then after the Galaxy S splash screen the screen goes black and only the lights of the 2 soft buttons are lit and it's stuck that way...so I had to remove the battery to try the flash again...this process went on for several times and I tried the same way over and over, then tried using a different firmware over and over...then at some point upon the start of the flashing process, it would get stuck at a tiny bit of progress and not move anymore..so I read up on what to do and most advised to just remove the battery and start over which I did for a few times then suddenly when I tried doing that once more it just wouldn't turn on anymore. The three button combination would no longer work. I tried taking off the battery for a while and putting it back in yet still nothing. I plugged it into the computer and the phone didn't react and the computer didn't see it. I tried plugging it into the charger and still nothing. :| So I think that constitutes a bricked phone... :| Anyway...

I tried looking up ways to unbrick it...I found one person in this forum saying that by using the one click root/unroot, the phone can be forced into recovery mode...I tried that and the root was said to go through and all according to the prompt but the phone did not react..

Does anyone have any suggestions (besides returning/exchanging the phone because I can't do that since had it purchased in the states and I'm currently in the Philippines)...

I read about using ADB? But some people said that if the phone can't turn on at all, then ADB won't work either...if you think otherwise and feel that it's a possible solution...do describe the steps in doing so..

If there's just no way at all...is this repairable by Samsung at a service center of theirs? There's nothing wrong with the hardware I think...it's just the software so shouldn't they have some way to get into the phone and just wipe and reinstall the software? Or is it really just hopeless?

Thank you all for your prompt replies and sympathy perhaps..

2 important thing to check

Are you able to turn ON the phone?

If yes, then remove battery

then put back battery

Do the 3 button combo to go into DOWNLOAD mode

Now connect USB cable and use Odin3 to flash again

make sure to check the box to REPARTITION in Odin
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
Nope...I can't turn it on even with just the power button..none of the button combinations have any effect either (the three button combination to download mode or just the one to go into recovery mode).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
if the phone is completely OFF as in there is no lights at all on the screen, then it might be some thing worse.

after you hit the power button, if you touch the Back key or the Sub menu key, do they light up in white?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
Nope..the two soft buttons don't light up either..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aylarth:
if the phone doesnt react at all, maybe the service guys cant do **** either, and with that, I'd hope that they just give you a new one cuz of this unknown, undocumented situation... fingers cross!

Horror story... but when I read it, the first thing popped up in my mind was, empty battery. I don't know if you can charge it when the fw is crippled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
It really is a horror story... And to think I haven't even had the phone for a week.. I don't think the battery is empty...but the batter draining during all the flashes I subjected to might be a good theory and the crippled firmware keeps it from charging...maybe.

When I go to the service center I'll ask them to try that out since I don't know anyone with the same battery... I would think that there would be at least be some signs of life when it's plugged into the actual charger though..

I hope someone presents me a less terminal response. :( This is all too depressing!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
how much battery did the phone had left before it died?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
When I first started all the flashing it had about half or so... maybe 60%? I wasn't able to see the battery since then 'cus I just kept trying to flash the phone over and over so I never got back to the main screen anymore...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that's okay, we just needed to get an idea to see if it's a power issue, or if it's a dead phone.

it appears to be leaning more towards the dead part.

sort of similar to your case, at least his does turn on
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
Removing the battery when Odin has started can be fatal.

You can only remove the battery if Odin has NOT started.

For example, if you press START, and Odin cycles through the files, then tells you not to remove the cable, if the top left box does not say anything, and there is no progress bar anywhere, it may have hung. It is USUALLY safe to remove the usb cable then restart over by flipping the battery. ( Note, to make sure, wait AT LEAST 10 minutes. )

It sounds like you flipped the battery whilst it was flashing the boot loader. :\
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
I am afraid I have to concur with sturmeh. This sounds like your flashing went wrong during the installation of the primary bootloader. Means that the phone is bricked permanently (like the phone of the OP of the Heimdall flashing software over in the development section)

Wouldn't be sure samsung can fix in. I sincerely hope that they can/will help you arjen you get back to the states cause this really sucks :-(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
Hey guys!

Thanks for all the concern and advice! I tried the three button boot again a while ago and miraculously it came alive though it would suddenly go away for a bit and then I wasn't able to do the three button boot again until much later..I have no idea what's up with my phone that it sometimes allows it and sometimes it doesn't even if I hold the buttons in the same sequence each time...strange...

Anyway, I managed to get it working in download mode and flashed to another firmware. Apparently the DXJG4 firmware I was trying to flash over and over had a corrupted file so it really would stop at some point. I flashed to TGYJH1 instead. I don't appreciate the Chinese text still being around despite changing the system language to English but it's better than a bricked phone. :O

Thanks so much again guys for all the help and concern! Glad this horror story is over and I hope none of you encounter the same!

Wow scary story with a happy ending :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appelflap:
Good news.

Did you check the battery after flashing the new fw? Maybe your battery had just enough power after a while to do the 3 button thing.

Just wanna know what your problem was. And more: I very interested to know if the battery charging is directed by the firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
Now that I think of it I think it might have actually had something to do with the battery life...when I finally got it up and running it had barely enough to stay on afterwards.

I think crippled firmware does mess up the charging capability of the phone like what had been mentioned by someone else a few posts back...since I had been attempting to flash my phone for hours on end at first and I didn't think it would run out of battery since it had always or almost always been plugged in via USB to my computer. I guess that wasn't the case since just like I mentioned above, by the time I got everything working my battery was near critically low.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that could explain why KIES will not let you upgrade a firmware if your battery is not full or past a certain % charged

but it's great to hear you got back your phone in a working state

[Q] I now seem to have a Galaxy brick....

Hi everyone. I have hit a snag whilst in the middle of updating to Froyo 2.2. I ran Odin 1.3 and added the files as described in the FAQ's and connected my phone and all was well. Then about half way through my pc crashed. When I started my pc again I was able to get my phone to start in download mode but when I connect Odin to try again it hangs at "Set Partition". I did notice that the second time around when I plugged the usb into my phone it did not load drivers.

I would be grateful for any help please.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Just install the drivers manually(either by downloading Kies or by hand using the search feature). Once you've done that download odin 1.7 and flash JM9 with the 512 pit file and re-partition selected.

The best way to guarantee a successful flash is to restart the phone into download mode while connected to the usb with odin opened. Haven't had a flash fail on me once since I've done it like that, when before it didn't work 50% of the time when I put the phone into download mode before connecting it to my pc.

If you can get into download mode, and Odin 1.3 recognises your phone, I would have thought you'd be all good.

If you're European with an international version of the phone. I would try going to to samfirmware.com, flashing JM8 (i.e. Android 2.1) with the 512 PIT and repartition checked. See if that works. From 2.1, you should be able to flash further ROM's e.g. JPO (i.e. Android 2.2) with the 812 PIT.
